About PinoyBlogero.com
What is PinoyBlogero?
PinoyBlogero is yet another attempt of Karlo Licudine at the world of blogging. It is the product of countless hours of brainstorming powered by 10 peso burgers and bottles of C2 green tea, a weeks worth of grueling hard work, and an allowance equivalent of internet rental hours spent on a number of internet rental shops (Yes, I don’t have an internet yet).
What is PinoyBlogero about?
This is a blog that is focused on the world of blogging in general but also has some interest on one particular side of the blogosphere, the pinoy blogging community. PinoyBlogero talks about the different topics about blogging, like its history, the pinoy blogging community, its effects, its usefulness and every little thing in between. It even throws some useful tips and guides along the way.
Who is behind PinoyBlogero?
PinoyBlogero is created and maintained by Karlo Licudine, an unheard of 20 year old college student studying in Mapua that has had his share of ups and downs in blogging which he aims to share with other bloggers.
Why PinoyBlogero?
PinoyBlogero is a name that I have thought up after I decided to create a blog about blogging. I have always wanted a unique sounding name that will set my blog apart from all the others out there. I came up with great names like PinoyBlogging, Pinoy Big Blogger, and Bobong Pinoy, but unfortunately all of them were already taken.
It was through random mashing of words and letters that I came up with a name that unintentionally had a little Spanish slant which is PinoyBlogero. Just like everyone else, PinoyBlogero also dreams of becoming known in the blogosphere, and with you reading this post, it has already started to take another step more to fulfilling it.

Disclaimer
PinoyBlogero is a blog focused on many different topics but mostly on blogging. I give out tips, guides, and how tos on blogging for all my fellow bloggers. However, I don’t consider myself an expert in this field or never have I labeled myself as a problogger in any way.
All of the tips seen here were not learned from success but from failures. Out of the number of blogs that I have created, none of them had been able to cross the line of being known, much because of my own blunders and the lack of determination in the past.
So why bother listening to what I say? Every lesson that I give here were learned from experience. Every do’s and dont’s were learned through consequences. I envision PinoyBlogero as a testament of what I have learned in blogging. If this blog somehow reaches the top, then it means that my techniques and my lessons were effective, but if things don’t go well for me, at least you are a witness and can learn from my downfall.
PinoyBlogero is not just as an ordinary blog about blogging, it is also a story of how a blog grew and lived on the world of blogging.
